Free Postal Delivery.

1t now appears that the scheme TO ex-
tend the free postal delivery is going 10
become a law. 1t is claimed that the
lostotice department has reall2ed more
money over It's cost from the free deliy-
cry than from any other novelty in
postal matters. 1t is now proposed to
Introduce this system into all enter
lriSing towns Of 10000 population where
the business ofthe office will warrant it.
The postmaster general says: 1T Will
not follow, however, without exception,
that al places having 10000 people will
be provided With free delivery. There
are eleven towns in the United States
that have people enough within their
limits to entitle them To this public con-
venience, but they DO not show on III
books postal business enough TO justify
H. in making any experiments ut those
points. There are 1853 cities that can
rightly claim a free delivery on the
score Of having both population and
! Nlt]IltHS tliphGl. MS llNl EilONS ~"
many points III the northwest appear in
the number. These place have 10000
population, aud the amounts opposite
each place shows the amount Of postal
business done at each point annually:
In Wisconsin,: Appleton, SI3,647;
Fond du Lac, Sl5,46l; GAINESVILLE, $l6,965.
In Minnesota: Mapkato, Sl2,4j9;

In Dakota: Fargo, S2l ,779; Huron,

In Montana: Butte City, $23,393

Now | wish il were understood more
widely than it is that there rests with

cretiOn in regard to granting free deliv-
cry to any city, the question of side

municipal thrift and improvement.
should not be disposed to put carriers
in some of our western towns, where
there has been great real excitement,
and in consequence a scattered and ex-
banded settlement. We could not Sc
cure a profitable and satisfactory service
with the same number of carriers if
they we're obliged to cover SO much space
as some of our people in the west de-
vote TO vacant lots. We shall send in
spectors to report on the conditions OF
eligibility"

PROVISION against right Money. '
Pittsburgh Dispatch: At breakfast
time the other morning one of Pitts
burgh's best citizens looked uneasy and
suspicious. Finally lie remarked to
his wife as he sampled "A roll:

"Ies, dear, talrly we'll"

when you looked for him last night? ?"
"No, dear"
"And you didn't hear any burglars
about the hOuse?"
why, no., dear"
81 thought you didn't" he replied,
with a sarcastic smile. "You didn't
wake me up once to go down stairs 10
chase him out. I'd like to know, though,
where the five dollar gold piece, those
three silver dollars and those halt dol
lars and quarters | had in my pocket
last night when | went to bed have
disappeared to-"
81 have them, my dear"
The deuce you havel' he exclaimed,
astonished by the openness of the con-
fession.
"Yes, dear; | read in our paper that
money is tight in the east, and know
1t is just as likely to get tight here as
it is there; so I thought it best to take
1t away from you."

The fact that several residents of Troy were
recently killed by odorless gas has aroused
some inquiry as to the use of this dangerous
agent II seems that this fuel gas which is
manufactured and used for various domestic
purposes, can readily be made safe, or at least
practically so, by giving it an odor which will
enable customers to detect its presence, and
many patents have been taken ont to accom-
plish this result. 1t may not be generally
known that common gas may easily be made
odorlees, but that the odor is retained as a
protection.
This subject opens some curious fields of
observation. Seeing that it is feasible thus
to impresnate gas with an oder, why does not
modern enterprise combine use and delight
by adopting such odors as shall be most agree
able to patrons! Few, for instance, like the
present smell of gas, and why cannot it be in
fused henceforth with the essence of mgnon-
cite or apple blossom, or Wang -ylang2 New
